Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are responsible for making a formal assessment as to whether it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. This assessment considers the Company’s access to financial resources, sufficient for it to meet its obligations over the next 12 months. To do this, the Company must have sufficient assets, not only to meet the payments and commitments associated with its business, but also to withstand the impact of other events that might reasonably be expected to happen.”
Significant events
- “On 21 November 2024, it was announced that the Company had entered into a Framework Agreement "FWA" with Ninety One UK PLC ("Ninety One") to transfer all of the active management capabilities to Ninety One in exchange for 13,675,595 shares in Ninety One. The disposal will result in the Company reducing its operations significantly with an estimated AUM reduction of £2bn and staff reduction by 30 people.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
